Mike Gatto Bill:
Broken meters shouldn’t lead to tickets
Assemblyman Mike
Gatto (D-43) introduced
legislation Januray 7 that
will allow Californians to
park for free at broken or
malfunctioning
parking
meters for the maximum
time allowed by the meter.
The bill, AB 61, would
prohibit local governments, such as cities and
counties, from enacting an
ordinance that bans parking in a space controlled
by a broken meter or
broken kiosk for on-street
parking.
Last year, California
legislators
unanimously
passed SB 1388 (DeSaulnier), which authorized
parking at an inoperable
parking meter for up to the

posted time limit if no ordinance or resolution had
been adopted to prohibit
it. This language created
a loophole that allowed for
the Los Angeles city council to pass an ordinance to
uphold the city’s policy
of ticketing drivers who
park in spaces with broken
parking meters. Gatto’s
bill would close this loophole and protect individuals from cities and counties that are overzealous in
their parking enforcement.
“It’s just wrong for
cities to ticket people who
want to park at a meter
that the city has failed to
fix,” said Gatto. “Or to
force a motorist to drive
around or park in a paid

SoCalGas conservation tips help
customers put a blanket on winter
natural gas bills, focus on savings
As winter chills continue to hit the southland,
Southern California Gas Co.
(SoCalGas) is offering energy and money-saving tips
and encouraging customers
to take simple steps to help
them stay warm while keeping a blanket on natural gas
bills. Home heating is the
number one natural gas use
for residential customers,
accounting for up to 65 percent of a home’s total winter
gas use.
“We know that a typical home’s natural gas use
for heating increases during
colder months, sometimes
up to three times more than
in warmer seasons. A good
way to help lower winter gas
bills is to conserve in two key
areas that can account for
most of our gas use: home
and water heating,” said Hal
Snyder, vice president of
customer solutions for SoCalGas.
SoCalGas offers these
tips for a warm and energyefficient winter:
Save up to 30 percent
on heating costs by lowering
your furnace thermostat by
three to five degrees (health
permitting).
Install a programmable
thermostat to help automatically regulate your home’s
temperature for comfort
control and energy savings.
Keep your heating system tuned up to operate at
maximum efficiency. Clean
or replace furnace filters according to manufacturer
recommendations and keep

all heating vents and furnace
registers free of dirt, lint and
obstructions.
Caulk and weather-strip
drafty windows and doors.
Open your drapes and
shades during the day, allowing the sun to warm your
house. Close them at night
to limit the amount of heat
that escapes.
Water heating is the second largest energy expense
in the average home and
there are four key ways to
cut water heating costs: use
less hot water, turn down the
thermostat on your water
heater, insulate your water
heater, or buy a new, more
efficient model. Setting your
water heater’s thermostat at
or slightly below the manufacturer’s recommendation
may prevent scalding and
help lower energy costs.
While some manufacturers
set water heater thermostats
at 140ºF, most households
usually only require them
set at 120ºF.
If you have a gas water
heater, turn it to the “Pilot”
setting when you go on vacation.
Insulate exterior, uncovered hot water pipes.
Take shorter, cooler
showers rather than baths
and install low-flow, watersaving showerheads. Showers can account for over 50
percent of your hot water
usage.
Save up to 10 percent
of hot water costs by washing full laundry loads in cold
water and wash full loads in

the dishwasher.
Fix leaky faucets. One
drop of hot water per second can waste 500 gallons a
year.
“SoCalGas is committed to helping customers
manage their energy costs
and has programs that can
help. We encourage customers to visit our website for energy-saving tips, rebates and
bill-assistance
programs,”
said Robert Visconti, regional public affairs manager for
SoCalGas.
Through December 31,
2013, SoCalGas is offering
the following rebates: a $200
rebate on central furnaces,
a $50 rebate on qualifying
gravity wall furnaces and rebates of up to $75 on qualifying storage water heaters
and up to $200 on qualifying
tankless water heaters.
In addition, SoCalGas
offers assistance programs
such as a 20 percent rate discount for income-qualified
customers, no-cost home energy upgrades for qualifying
customers and more.
If customers are having
trouble paying their bill, SoCalGas may even be able to
offer payment arrangements.
For more information on rebates, conservation and simple home improvement tips,
or to learn about customer
assistance programs, customers should visit SoCalGas’
website at www.socalgas.
com or call (800) 427-2200.
Customers are asked to have
their account number handy
for faster service.

Assemblymember Roger Hernández
introduces legislation to honor La Paz
as a state historical landmark
Assemblymember
Roger Hernández (D-West
Covina) has introduced
Assembly Bill 34, a measure which would establish
Nuestra Señora Reina de
la Paz (La Paz) as a state
historical landmark.
“Despite California’s
labor, civil rights and cultural history, there seems
to be a general deficit of
state historical landmarks
associated with our rich
heritage. La Paz offers an
exceptional opportunity
to commemorate and conserve this distinct land,”
said Hernández.
La Paz covers 187 acres

of eastern Kern County,
California. The site is significant as the headquarters
of the United Farm Workers of America (UFW) and
as the burial site of the late
labor and civil rights activist, César E. Chávez. From
the site, César E. Chávez
met with public officials,
labor leaders, community
organizations and industry
representatives as a voice
for the disenfranchised and
the less fortunate.
Today, the site encompasses César E. Chávez’s
home, a visitor’s center,
the United Farm Workers
of America’s legal aid of-

fices, three structures and
other buildings.
On October 8, 2012,
President Obama visited
La Paz to declare the site a
United States National Historic Landmark. According to the U.S. National
Park Service, it became the
398th unit in the National
Park Service system, and
the first honoring a Latino
since the 1700s.
“The federal government has officially recognized the unique historical
significance of La Paz. It is
long overdue for California
to do the same,” concluded Hernández.

Congresswoman Judy

Secretary of Labor Hilda
Solis will resign:
“I have had the great
pleasure of knowing Hilda
Solis for over two decades.
Through every role she
has filled – from environmental advocate to state

legislator, Congressional
leader to Secretary of Labor – she has been a phenomenal public servant.
This is someone who rose
through the ranks by giving a voice to the voiceless,
and because of her work,
hundreds of thousands of
people live a better life today. I am honored to have
earned her trust and sup-

port along the way, and
value the guidance she
gave me as I filled the Congressional seat she left in
2009. Hilda has set a wonderful example for women
and minorities all across
this nation who aspire to
change it, and I wish her
the very best in her future
endeavors in life.”

Antonovich attacks Brown’s prison plan
The Governor needs
to stop playing politics with
prison advocates and labor
unions and take responsible actions to comply
with the court order in a
cost-effective way without
jeopardizing public safety,”
said Supervisor Michael

D. Antonovich. “The option to contract for more
prison beds provides safe
and immediate relief to
prison overcrowding and
achieves compliance with
the court order without
causing harm to our communities.
Early release

and shifting additional
prisoners to the counties
are dangerous options and
will increase crime. The
contracting option is costeffective with $65 versus
approximately $150 per
day per bed.”

Sierra Madre to protest county’s
Clean Water, Clean Beaches fee
The Sierra Madre City
Council voted 5-0 to approve
a city protest over the “Clean
Water, Clean Beaches Measure,” being proposed as a
new parcel tax by the County
of Los Angeles.
At the Jan. 8 meeting,
City Manager Elaine Aguilar
said Sierra Madre, just like all
property owners within the
city, received a county notice
proposing an annual fee to
pay for clean water programs.
The fee would be imposed
on all property owners within the Los Angeles County
Flood Control District.
Because the proposed
Clean Water fee is a “Proposition 218” fee, a protest process must be conducted before it can be put to a vote in a
general election. Protest forms
were included in the “Official
Notice” sent out to property
owners, and the deadline to
submit these forms is before
the end of the public hearing,
which is Tuesday, Jan. 15.
As part of its protest to
the Measure, the City Council designated Mayor Josh
Moran as the city’s representative to authorize and submit
the protest forms for each of
the city-owned properties.
Sierra Madre’s fee on
its 74 city-owned parcels is
estimated to be at $16,919,
according to the staff report.
Aguilar said if the Measure
were approved, the city
would receive about $156,000

What the official notice
does specify is that the proposed clean water fee “would
generate over $200 million
annually in dedicated funding for reducing pollution
from stormwater and urban
runoff in Los Angeles County
waterways,” while basing that
fee on “the average amount
of runoff that properties generate, based on parcel size
(but not property value) and
land use classification, such as
whether the property is residential, commercial, industrial or undeveloped.”

Irwindale Speedway
announces NASCAR
sanction agreement
for 2013 racing season
“We’re very happy,
No...better than that, we’re
quite proud to announce
our 2013 NASCAR racing schedule for Irwindale
Speedway,” said Irwindale
Event Center President and
CEO Jim Cohan.
“We met with Bob
Duvall from NASCAR
yesterday at our offices in
Irwindale,” said Cohan.
“He really understands our
mission to bring great short
track stock car racing back
to southern California and
he’s very supportive of that
goal. Bob made his presentation, answered all of our
questions, we signed the
sanction agreement, and he
got back on a plane and took
the papers back to Daytona
Beach.”
“NASCAR is pleased
to bring our Home Tracks
program back to Irwindale
Speedway,” said Duvall,
NASCAR’s Senior Director of Business Development. “This facility hasn’t
changed physically in any
way; it’s the same great race
track. What has changed is
the management group and
spirit of teamwork that Jim
Cohan’s people bring to the
effort, they’re all top pros,
and I’m really looking forward to working with them.”
“There were a few
doubts out there that this day

might not come, not on our
part of course. Our team
has worked very hard for this
day, and to finally be able to
tell the world that Saturday
night stock car racing is back
at Irwindale,” Cohan added.
The 2013 racing season
will begin on Saturday night,
April 6 with a “Grand ReOpening Night” of racing
featuring NASCAR Super
Late Models, Late Models,
Super Stocks, Mini-Stocks
and an evening-ending funfor-all Demolition Derby.
Late last year Speedway
management announced an
alliance with Kern County
Raceway Park, the new halfmile oval racetrack that’s just
completing construction near
Bakersfield. Both tracks are
working together to co-ordinate schedules and competition rules to allow teams in a
number of divisions to compete at both tracks during the
upcoming season.
Irwindale Competition
Director, Mike Atkinson,
will soon be announcing divisional meetings at the track
for car owners and drivers.
Applications for 2013 NASCAR licenses for drivers
and crewpersons are now
available at the Speedway office during regular business

A journey back in time and into the future
By Greg Aragon
Sometimes I like to rent
a car and drive wherever
the road takes me. I did this
last weekend and found myself immersed in a world of
strange and fantastic rock
formations, resembling a
lost city thousands of years
old. I discovered Red Rock
Canyon State Park.
Located along Highway 14 in Kern County,
about 120 miles north of Los
Angeles, Red Rock Canyon was once home to the
Kawaiisu Indians, who left
petroglyphs and artifacts in
the El Paso Mountains.
The spectacular gash situated at the western edge of
the El Paso mountain range
was on the Native American
trade route for thousands
of years. During the 1870s,
the colorful rock formations
in the park served as landmarks for 20-mule team
freight wagons that stopped
for water. About 1850, it
was used by survivors of the
famous Death Valley trek.
The park now protects significant paleontology sites

and the remains of 1890s-era
mining operations.
When a friend and I got
to Red Rock, it was a windy
January morning, with snow
scattered about the desert
floor and only two sets of
campers sharing the rugged,
27,000-sq-ft Park. I imagine this place fills up fast in
spring, when the weather
warms and wildflowers line
the desert floor.
Red Rock features 50
primitive campsites, potable
water, pit toilets, fire rings,
and tables. Campers should
bring their own firewood,
or purchase it from a ranger or at the visitor center.
There are no RV hook-ups
or showers. Camping is $25
per night per site,
As we slowly drove
around the one road that
circles the sanctuary,it felt
like we were in a scene from
the dinosaur classic “Jurassic Park.” Maybe that’s because the movie was filmed
here. In fact, due to its
unique landscape Red Rock
was used in lots of movies,
including “The Mummy,”
“Zorro Rides Again,” “Westworld,” “Airwolf,” and “The
Outlaw.”
When the scenery became to impressive, we

stopped to climb the rocks
and take pictures and look
for native wildlife such as
snakes, roadrunners, hawks,
lizards, mice and squirrels.
From the ancient rock
formations at Red Rock,
we journey into the future
as we stopped Mojave Air
and Space Port on our way
home. This facility is the first

of its kind to be licensed in
the United States for horizontal launches of reusable
spacecraft. In other words
its is known for testing some
pretty wild and innovative
aircraft.
While here we examined the Rotary Rocket
Roton ATV, which in 1999
became the first rocket-pow-

ered vehicle to fly at Mojave
Spaceport. And next to this
craft, we encountered a
replica of Space Ship One,
which was part of the first
private manned space program in the country.
We also had a great
lunch at the Voyager Restaurant, located on the runway. While eating a bowl

of chili and onion rings, we
watched planes and helicopters take off before our eyes.

2013-2014 Budget
Continued from page 1

took office, the state faced a
$26.6 billion budget deficit
and estimated annual gaps
of roughly $20 billion. The
first two state budgets under
Governor Brown’s watch
eliminated these deficits with
billions of dollars in cuts as
well as temporary revenues.
The 2011-2012 and 20122013 budgets provided three
dollars of spending cuts for
every dollar in temporary
tax revenues approved by
the voters.
To maintain the fiscal stability that has been
achieved, the budget reflects
the continuation of spending cuts made in the last two
years, continues to pay down
the “wall of debt” and recognizes risks that remain.
“Fiscal discipline is not
the enemy of democratic
governance, but rather its
fundamental predicate. In
fact, it is through fiscal discipline that this budget can
invest in education, expand
health care and provide a
safety net for the most vulnerable,” said Governor Brown.
Significant Details of the
2013-2014 State Budget:
Maintains Long-Term
Fiscal Stability by aligning
expenditures with revenues,

paying down debt and creating a $1 billion reserve, this
budget provides long-term
fiscal stability on a level that
California has not enjoyed in
more than a decade.
Invests in Education
and Increases Local Control:
After years of decline, this
budget significantly increases
state funding per student
in K-12 schools – $2,700
by 2016-2017. Funding for
K-12 and community colleges increases by $2.7 billion next year, and by $19
billion by 2016-2017. While
K-12 school districts across
the state will benefit from the
increased funding—through
a new school funding formula—school districts serving those students who have
the greatest challenges will
receive more generous increases—so that all students
in California have the opportunity to succeed. The
budget increases flexibility at
the local level so those closest
to the students can make the
decisions.
Increases Funding to
Strengthen Higher Education and Increase Affordability: This budget increases
state funding for UC and
CSU by an additional $250

million, 5 percent. It proposes a multi-year stable funding
plan to strengthen our higher
education system, ensure affordability and reduce student indebtedness. Higher
education costs have risen
rapidly and middle class students have paid the price. By
shortening the time it takes a
student to successfully complete a degree and calling on
UC and CSU to deploy their
instructional resources more
effectively, the system can be
made more affordable—both
for the students and the state.
Implements
Federal
Health Care Reform: This
budget expands access to
health care for Californians
by implementing federal
health care reform. It expands coverage by simplifying Medi-Cal eligibility and
extending coverage to childless adults and uninsured parents. Given promised federal
funding, the budget outlines
two alternative pathways. It
also recognizes that implementation of health care reform will require changes in
the respective responsibilities
of the state and the counties.

Breakfast at Sena on Myrtle,
Shevlin-style
How does a popular restaurant-bar expand
its business beyond the
lunch and dinner crowd?
Though adding a breakfast
menu might sound logical,
how do you get the word
out – and, how do you
convince your customers to
start their day with you -- as
well as end it?
Looks like Damon
Thompson, manager of
Sena on Myrtle, has found
a unique answer: convince
a local dignitary to not only
share a special recipe with
you, but to spend a morning in your kitchen cooking
it as well! Last Saturday
morning Monrovia Council Member Becky Shevlin
worked the grill in Sena’s
kitchen alongside Chef An-

tonio, and prepared her famous blueberry buttermilk
pancakes which those lucky
enough to have tasted them
know, are not like any pancakes you have ever eaten. Somewhere between
a crepe and a pancake,
loaded with blueberries
and topped with a twist of
Meyer lemon and a sprinkling of powdered sugar,
Becky’s Pancakes (as they
will now appear on Sena’s
new breakfast menu) are
surprisingly delicious.
“As for me, I had a
blast”, said Shevlin. “I
showed up at 7:30 a.m.
and left at l: 30 p.m. I experienced the full kitchen
routine, including prep,
cooking and clean-up. The
kitchen crew, especially

Chef Antonio, were great
supporters.
Everyone
treated me like one of the
crew, including the servers.
I have a new found appreciation for anyone working
in a busy restaurant. This
was a definite Bucket List
accomplishment!”
An interesting side
note: the City of Monrovia has been spending a lot
of time visiting individual
Old Town businesses – getting to know them, asking
for their input, and letting
them know how they can
stay connected. Although
Council Member Shevlin’s
morning at Sena was not a
city-sponsored event, it certainly reflects the council’s
dedication to local business.

DNA bill
Continued from page 1

murder, as his DNA was
not collected until 2006.
“I’m so pleased that
President Obama today
signed this important legislation – Katie’s Law is a
vital tool for law enforcement to help save lives and
prevent future crimes,” said
Schiff. “By improving our
DNA system, we will make
sure that more violent and
serious crimes are solved,
and we take more felons off
the street every year. This
legislation – now law – is
another tool in law enforcement’s toolkit. Just as we
fingerprint arrestees and
those convicted of crimes,
it makes absolute sense to
collect a DNA profile when
someone is arrested for
a violent felony, and this
bill will encourage states
around the nation to join
California and other states
that have adopted arrestee
testing.”

“We are so grateful for
the support of our primary
sponsors, Rep. Adam Schiff,
Rep. David Reichert and
Senator Charles Schumer
who worked so tirelessly to
support this bill and see it
enacted,” said Mrs. Sepich.
The Katie Sepich Enhanced DNA Collection
Act of 2012, also known as
Katie’s Law, establishes a
program to provide grants
to states which implement
DNA collection programs
for arrestees of murder,
sexual assault, kidnapping,
burglary, and aggravated
assault. States are authorized to collect DNA for a
larger subset of crimes but
must do so for those felony
crimes. The bill uses funding sources within the Debbie Smith DNA Backlog
Reduction Act and specifies that up to $10 million in
each fiscal year from 2013
to 2015 may go to grants to

states under Katie’s law.
An example of the
power of arrestee testing
comes from a case in Los
Angeles. In 1987, Chester
Turner was arrested for assault in California, but freed
due to a lack of evidence.
DNA technology was in
its infancy at the time and
Turner’s DNA was not
taken upon arrest. Turner
continued to terrorize a Los
Angeles community and
was arrested nineteen more
times before being convicted of rape in 2002. Only
then was his DNA profile
taken, and it matched evidence found on twelve rape
and murder victims, the first
murdered only two months
after his 1987 arrest. Had
California taken his DNA
when he was first arrested,
as is now required under
state law, his decades long
crime spree could have
been prevented or cut short.

Kenton Nelson
Continued from page 1

gallery’s John Strawn and
Frank Goss.
The authors continue…
”Although Nelson occasionally paints a pure landscape,
most of his works include
figures within the landscape.
None of his figures are old,
worn, haggard or undisciplined. They are never out
of shape. These quintessentially American characters
are beautiful. And yet they
inhabit a landscape that,
though lovely, leaves the
viewer with a sense that the
characters are forlorn. Even
in a canvas with multiple
figures, each figure is a solitary, isolated icon of a perfect world.”
Over the past few years,
Nelson has been working
on this installation that has
finally come to pass in Old
Pasadena albeit after dealing with some inevitable
and rather sticky red tape.
The project which consists
of 120,000 glass tiles in 84
separate colors make up this
mural that will undoubtedly
be the talk of the town before too long.
The grand mosaic depicts a striking, pensive
and perhaps lonely young
woman, her hair in a bun ,
looking to the south as she
holds an umbrella. What
she’s thinking, what’s next
in her life is entirely subjective.
Nelson tells Beacon
that he entitled the mosaic
“Forecasting” Joking that it
took him years to convince
the building’s owner ( also
a friend) to let him install
the mosaic, Nelson felt it
appropriate that the young
woman is holding an um-

brella “ as if the sky was falling…” Nelson quipped.
Nelson’s partner in
the mosaic project is Niclas
Hjelm of Morton Court
Mosaic. Hjelm uses stunning, three-eighth inch Vitreous glass tiles which are
hand finished in Italy for the
mosaics. The tiles are then
hand set and stored in sections until the installation is
ready.
Even the shade and
color of the grout is carefully selected. Enter artist
Frank Gallagher, long time
friend of Nelson and owner
of All Industrial Arts in San
Marino. Gallagher (who
was dubbed the ‘Poet of
Pots’ by The Los Angeles
Times ) has a inimitable
passion for art, in all its
complexities. He and his
crew helped install these
tiny tiles meticulously with
Nelson and Hjelm to bring
the artist’s visualization to
sparkle … into something
new and distinct.
“I believe than one can
take what is known as a ‘traditional,
representational
image’, re-present it in a different scale or context and
arrive at something utterly
new, ” Kenton said.
Morton Court Mosaic
retains the exclusive right
to recreate Kenton Nelson’s paintings, which are
avidly collected around the
world. Owner Niclas Hjelm
is energized about this latest
Nelson project and ecstatic
with the location. “ You wait
til the light hits the Vitreous tiles in the afternoon…
they’ll sparkle and create
stunning colors,” he said.

mural recreates the original
work of Nelson. Applying
his bold colors and heroic
imagery into the limited
palette of Vitreous glass, we
seek to create a unique pointillist effect,” Morton Court
Mosaic’s Niclas Hjelm said.
The installation, which
should be completed by
press time, can be viewed
above Intelligentsia Coffee
at 55 East Colorado in the
alley between Raymond
and Fair Oaks.
Nelson traces his interest in painting back to his
great uncle, Roberto Montenegro, a renowned Mexican muralist and Modernist. The style of Nelson’s
paintings have their origins
in American Scene painting, Regionalism, and the
work of the WPA artists of
the 1930’s.
Nelson paints figures,
landscape, and architecture
suffused in
subtle light.
The intention in his paintings, according to Kenton,
is to “idealize the ordinary
with the intention of engagement, using the iconic symbols and styles of his lifetime
in a theatrical style to make
leading suggestions.”
Nelson’s compositions
of strong horizontal and
vertical lines of architecture
contrast beautifully with nature’s curves.
Kenton Nelson’s ‘Forecasting’ is 14 feet by 11 feet
and will permanently grace
the west side of the building
that houses the coffee shop.

Tribute to Ray Bradbury now on display Controller releases December cash update
State Controller John receipts were affected by percent) monthly estimates.
at the Duarte Historical Museum
Chiang today released his a large timing issue at the
Personal income taxes
monthly report covering
California’s cash balance,
receipts and disbursements
in December 2012. After
accounting for timing issues
related to sales tax deposits, December’s totals were
$103.4 million above (1.1
percent) estimates found in
the 2012-13 state budget.
“While December’s
figures were distorted by
timing issues, the month’s
revenues closely match
budget projections and offer further evidence that
California’s economy is
slowly mending,” said Chiang.
December’s sales tax

Ray Bradbury was a regular visitor to Duarte. -Photo by Terry Miller

He was a man who
wore many hats: author,
screenwriter, playwright and
lecturer. But Ray Bradbury
was mostly admired for his
generosity and kind heart. A
tribute to his life is now on
display at the Duarte Historical Museum, collected and
organized by Duartean Jack
Collins.
Playbills, photographs,
books, a video and news articles in the exhibit are from
Collins’ collection which he
has built over the years. “I
hold him in high esteem,”
says Collins, “and enjoyed organizing the exhibit to honor

his many achievements.”
Bradbury spoke before
a record crowd at Duarte’s
PAC Center in 2002, and
despite his advanced age, he
remained at the Center for
two hours after his presentation to sign books and talk
to the guests. Monies collected at the lecture and all
proceeds from his book sales
were donated to our Library.
He then returned to Duarte
for another lecture and twice
more to participate in the Annual Festival of Authors.
Bradbury is commonly
known for the books he has
authored, many with a sci-

ence fiction theme. However,
his career is diversified, a fact
Collins has incorporated into
the exhibit. Bradbury died
on June 5, 2012 at the age of
91.
The Duarte Historical
Museum is located in Encanto Park in Duarte and is
open Saturdays 1-4 p.m. and
the first and third Wednesday of each month from 1-3
p.m.. Admission is free. The
Museum has an all-volunteer
staff. For more information
or to schedule a group tour
call (626) 357-9419. The
Bradbury exhibit will remain
through February.

“I am thrilled the City has
been honored with such
recognition from the Davidian / Mariamian Educational Foundation. It is one
of the best after-school pro-

grams I have ever seen.”

While $1 billion of sales
tax was deposited into the
Board of Equalization’s
bank account on December 31, those dollars were
not transferred to the General Fund for another two
days. Because the Controller’s monthly cash report
shows General Fund balances reported by close of
business on December 31,
the $1 billion of late-deposited December sales tax
dollars will instead appear
in January’s report. Without accounting for this timing issue, total revenues fell
$896.6 million below (-9.6

in the month of December came in $767.6 million above (13.4 percent)
monthly estimates contained in the 2012-13 state
budget. Corporate taxes
came in $445.9 million below (-31.2 percent) those
monthly estimates.
The State ended the
last fiscal year with a cash
deficit of $9.6 billion. As
of December 31, that cash
deficit totaled $24.2 billion
and was covered with $14.2
billion of internal borrowing (temporary loans from
special funds), and $10 billion of external borrowing.
